Verse 1:
In a lonely city, break it down
What you want boieee? I don’t know
I guess I wanted to just be normal, to have a life
To hang with friends, to laugh and live
Why I ain’t like you peers?
Is it cause puberty hit too fast?
Friendships of childhoods vanished, banished
I don’t know all you hoes but I took a grip on life
For two seconds through a nose dive
To a child that’s not yet adult, a minor without keys
I played it melancholic-ally as I made my one wish, by the moonlight
To be normal, to be normal, to be normal, to be normal
Normality please stay with me
I stretched further than the naked truth
And my skin inflamed, the scars my teachers and classmates do not see
A home that was once shaken
My innocence was stolen, I’m tired of being your friend
So my shadow gave me a hug, that was only option
Cause who knew?
The one who broke down ended up judging the way I broke down over tears for a friend
Ayo Tim, ayo ayo ayo
I got the besties’ picture, but now with the alumni they faded
Like dreams I woke up from
Never forget, I told myself
Where you came from? The darkest of thorn roots
A blood stained rose…
I look in the streets, other teens they be laughing
Having a good time despite pressures
I know my youth precious
Still a silent scream it took over
As they looked over like I was less than human
Don’t judge me, you saw what was coming
An adult that failed the system, lay a brick on 16th
Need a break for myself
You would never understand unless you lived my life
HK Boieee, in a lonely city
It’s grey scale, it’s grey scale, it’s grayscale
My friends faded, I see snakes
They try to viper, venomous
As the darkness consumed, so now
Whenever hurdles me, I think back
The youth of today they been cherished
So you stand for yourself
I am sure I am not the only grey teen, so I hear you too
When you want to die cause no one hears you, a silent scream without the head
You got your prince charming or is she a wicked bitch?
Is he your one and only? Oh is she a snitch bitch?
I learnt to trust myself, without anybody
And yes I got a rooftop, but does that mean I’m happy?
Outro:
Terminate you like the 80s did
I wish a had an older brother like a 90s kid
But I saved myself like PS2s
This a motherfucking PSA
So we got to have our say, another day
Public relations like PR, eh
I got thru 10 years earlier like corona, eh
So you brace for yourself like motherfucking plane flights, eh
Stop. You’re not Brad so don’t brag about the fight club, hey
